I have created a portfolio in indesign with a range of images and films. I have uploaded it to dropbox so I can send a link for the portfolio in an email. The problem I am having now is that when I send the email and test to see if the file works everything is there apart from the films.

When I open the file after it has exported the films work fine so i wonder if it is a problem with dropbox?

Pages transition from light to dark and space definition films are the ones that have films on them. I click on the film to play and it just disappears. there are a few other pages where films are meant to be but it just leaves an empty space.

Are you sure you have that portfolio1_Resources folder in your dropbox. InDesign does not include your videos to exported SWF. They are external files which will be streamed at runtime. Flash Player assumes that they are stored to that resources folder and it has to be stored to same root with SWF itself. If that´s not the case, Flash Player can not stream&show your videos.

Another problem I see about those videos is naming - never use any other characters than a-z or numbers 0-9 or underscore. So even empty spaces will cause you harm. Most of the names of your videos contains at least empty spaces.

ok i think that was where i was going wrong because dropbox was not letting me upload the portfolio1_Resources folder, I uploaded the files one by one. Is it possible to upload a folder onto dropbox? I cannot get it to upload.

When you install dropbox to your computer, installer creates a folder called Dropbox to your harddrive. Whatever you put into that folder will be synced immediately to Dropbox server. And there´s a subfolder called Public as well. Content of that folder is visible to everyone you share your URLs.

You can copy and move files and folders there just like you did to any folder in your computer.
